In a world that has become the Global Village so brilliantly predicted by our very own Marshall McLuhan, we are all a click away, hyper-connected as never before, able to disseminate in an instant to swaths of populations living all over this glorious planet.
Which is why I’m posting this message. While not traditionally a political space (parties and luxury lifestyle are our oxygen), it is imperative to acknowledge the gravity of today’s election in the United States of America, our number one ally, and greatest trade partner. What happens within the borders of this superpower to the South is not only exceptionally consequential for both the state of the world, but the state of our Canadian context too.
So, no matter your political orientation, if you’re an American citizen reading this while living in Canada – or wherever – 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀. It is the ultimate power; your golden opportunity to exercise a democratic right to make your voice heard and impact the fate of generations in a spectacularly close election to be decided by a sliver. 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 … 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀. POWER TO THAT. Information: Vote.org. Polls open 7 am – 8 pm.
EVERY SINGLE VOTE MATTERS.
